Controversy Over Polygamy Reaches
Boiling Point in Most of Pakistan
Karachi, Pakistan (U.R) A
pretty Canadian-born secretary
married a prime minister and
touched off one of the stormiest
controversies within the Moslem
religion.
' The controversy rages around
polygamy, for the secretary be
came the second wife of, the then
prime minister, Mohammed Ali,
more than a year ago.
Almost immediately modern
thinking women of the country
began a loud protest. Their com
plaints led to the formation of
the seven member government
commission on marriage and
family laws.
Traditionally a man can take
as many as four wives here.
But the commission, with
three women members, think
that a man should have more
than one wife only in extremely
rare cases. It proposed the es
tablishment of a special matri
monial court to decide when
these rare cases exist.
Must B Capablt
A husband should be allowed
to take a second wife "only if he
is judged to be capable of doing
justice in every respect t6 more
than one wife," the commission
said.
It also recommended that wo
men be given the same rights as
men in divorces and that the
legal age for marriage be raised
to 18 for men and 16 for women,
a radical change in the marriage
customs in Pakistan.
The recommendations drew a
loud protest from the high priest
of the powerful Moslem reli
gious organization Jamaat-E-Islami.
He called on all Moslem or
ganizations to oppose them until
"they are buried in oblivion for
good."
Sentiments Ignored
"They ignore the sentiments
of Moslems," he said, "and even
a casual student of Islam would
detect that most of the recom
mendations are in direct con
flict with the dictates of the
Koran."
The Koran recommendation is
that "no person can marry a sec
ond wife in the lifetime of the
first without the intervention of
a matrimonial court."
"With respect to polygamy,
which has become a hotly de
bated issue in every Moslem so
ciety, the commission adhered
to the Kranic view," commis
sion members said. "Polygamy
is neither enjoyed nor permitted
unconditionally nor encouraged
by the holy book."
